Everything Data - with Any Mobile, Anytime (Price Varies)

The Everything Data with Any Mobile, Anytime is a plan that I myself use with my HTC Hero. This plan has the most interesting feature of all of them - the Any Mobile, Anytime option. What this means is that any call to any mobile at any time, regardless of carrier, is free and does not take minutes from the plan. Unlike Simply Everything & Simply Everything Family plans this plan does not include unlimited talk minutes but does have unlimited data and texts. Also included are Sprint GPS, Sprint TV & Radio service, and NASCAR Sprint Cup.and this plan offers several packages for minutes. Free nights and weekends are also included and start at 7:00 PM.

450 minutes $69.99 at 45¢/min (overage).

900 minutes $89.99 at 40¢/min (overage).

Prices start at $42.00 per line with 2 already included in the inital pricing. Up to 5 additional lines are offered at $19.99 per month per line. This plan will share talk minutes among the various lines so usage will have to be monitored if a lot of use is being planned. This plan does include unlimted Text, and data it also has the standard package of Sprint Extras. Included in this are Sprint GPS, Sprint TV & Radio service, and NASCAR Sprint Cup.

Conclusion

The HTC EVO 4G has only one carrier right now but 4 plans that you can choose from for a reasonable price. Depending on your needs you can choose whatever you wish and may need. Indulge me in a little editorializing, I personally have had a Sprint account and phone for 3 years and in that time I have never had any serious complaint about them or with them. On the rare occasion that I've had need to contact technical support I have not ever left without getting satisfaction. Sprint smartphone plans have never hit me with strange, or unusual charges and I have never once in three years paid one overage charge. If you want the HTC EVO 4G from Sprint I think you will be pleased with the data/talk plan you purchase.
